Abstract
A system and method for obtaining and maintaining synchronization to a digital signal containing framing. The method searches for a synchronizing pattern and maintains a confidence counter indicative of the success in finding the synchronization pattern where expected. The confidence counter can be used to indicate when the system is locked to the framing of the digital signal and when resynchronization needs to occur.
